Farmingdale Dalers boys lacrosse aim to regain county title

For the first time in a few years, Farmingdale has gone from hunted back to hunter, with neighboring rival Massapequa the favorite to win a second straight Nassau Class A boys lacrosse county title.

And that’s just fine with Dalers coach Eric Dunne, who has a handful of players in a senior class of 15 who have played in back-to-back state championship games earlier in their careers.

That group fell a game shy of competing for a county title again last year, which provides additional motivation this spring.

“Our guys are certainly hungry to go back and get themselves back in that game,” Dunne said. “I think that not being in the county final, for some of them that was the first time that they haven't been in the county final. They’re hungry and fired up to make sure that that doesn’t happen.”

Among those players is senior long-stick midfielder Michael Galgano, a UMass commit who is a three-year starter, as is senior Thomas Goodrich, a Mercy commit who is the first defensive midfielder to wear the prestigious No. 50 jersey, and senior faceoff specialist JJ Damo, an LIU commit.

Senior attackman Cuinn Sunde, a Georgian Court University commit, has started for two-and-a-half seasons, and Lucas Galvez, a slick lefty with a high lacrosse IQ committed to Manhattan, started there last year.

“We’ve been able to just hit the ground running in terms of expectations about the way that we go about working and things like that,” Dunne said. “We had a really, really good offseason.”

Leading the way in the midfield is Mercy-bound senior Sean Schumeyer, a converted attackman who had a big junior campaign, sophomore Jack Watrous, who scored in the state semifinals as an eighth grader, and senior Matteo Asencio, a two-way threat who has committed to Adelphi.

Junior Michael Billelo is a big lefty returning starter on defense committed to Mercy, who will play in front of junior goalie Dom Martillotti.
